Write a balanced chemical equation to represent the addition polymerization of tetrafluoroethene. The product of this reaction is Teflon.
tetrafluoroethene=F2C=CF2------(polymerise)---->Poly(tetrafluoroethene): PTFE
the reaction is occurs in present of catalyst Ziegler-Natta catalysts.These are mixtures of titanium compounds like titanium(III) chloride, TiCl3, or titanium(IV) chloride, TiCl4, and compounds of aluminium like aluminium triethyl, Al(C2H5)3
Reaction is given as-
n F2C=CF2 --------->-(-F2C-CF2-)- n
Tefelon is addition polymer. Monomer's double-bonds open up to form continuous chain polymer.
